Sony surpasses Nintendo in game console sales for FY2013

It’s been a long time coming but now Sony has managed to overtake Japanese rival Nintendo in the game console market for the 2013 fiscal year. Sony was able to sell 18.7 million consoles which is a few million more than Nintendo’s 16.3 million figure. These sales reflect current generation consoles like the Sony PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Wii U as well as previous generation machines like the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Sony PS 3, and Sony PS Vita. We’re hoping this isn’t the start of Nintendo’s descent but it’s not looking good at the moment.

Google has finally begun rolling out the latest iteration of its mobile operating system to Nexus devices and a few Google Play versions of some OEMs. It’s no surprise the update arrives first to Google-owned or -managed devices. The update has shown up on Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi version), Play editions of the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One M7 and M8, and Sony Z Ultra. The Moto X for T-Mobile is also getting the update first, the Moto G bought online in the US and in retail stores in Brazil, and the Moto E bought online in the US.

This minor update will have a new interface for the dialer, new colors, as well as additional bug fixes, security patches, and overall stability improvements. It will also reportedly fix the battery drain that happens when the camera is used.
